bbostwick8 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure. My mothers iPhone 5 won't connect either. Could it be a single band phone issue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Probably something like that. I've just came back from Michigan and of course I had LTE everywhere except WV. Thinking about calling CC but doubt they will be any help.

Dkoellerwx Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yea... I've checked all the settings and did a profile / prl update. It rebooted automatically and came back up, did a software update (!) and rebooted again and still nothing. Network mode is CDMA/LTE only. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk What band is the iPhone connecting to? If Band 26 is the only band currently live, your Note 3 would not be able to connect to that.

Longhorns2005 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 My iPhone 6 Plus is connecting to band 26 but still won't receive data. Sprint store hasn't been any help, they just say to keep LTE off for now. Wish they would get it figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radfordra Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm not sure. My mothers iPhone 5 won't connect either. Could it be a single band phone issue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have the same issue with my iPhone5, while my experience with LTE and knowledge is limited. I believe that a carrier settings update is needed to fix it, or it maybe a sim card issue. Then again I may not know what the heck I am talking about, and if anyone has information that makes me look like an idiot please feel free to use it.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah if the only band deployed in your area is Band 26 then your mother's iPhone won't be able to connect to it since it is single band. -Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawneyboy123 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The only band in my area is 25. I've yet to pick up 26 or 41 in Beckley only 25. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hmm, I would say it could be an eCSFB issue, but considering the iPhone 5 can't connect, which doesn't need eCSFB, then it leaves me wondering what else it could be. I can't think of what it is. -Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyguy Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Was in Richmond yesterday, and all LTE bands I could receive got good data service. This used to be Ntelos, but now is native Sprint. Nowat home and on my tower located on Roy Rd, Troutville, and I get very decent B25 signal but still no data....I might be sending some up but nothing comes back. I switch my phone to 3G manually and I get good data there with EHRPD in the background. My significant other has a Note 4 same as mine, but hers has stock rom, and she thinks she's getting data at her sister's house. Might be, but I believe a home signal there is so weak that you may be lucky to get 1xrtt, and maybe 3G if you wear a tin hat, and hold the phone in the air. I dunno what's going on, but if it's my nightlies from Cyanogenmod, well I hope they fiure it out. If it's Ntelos, I wish they would have left well enough alone. LTE worked a treat for three day and now it's just a signal with dead air.Richmond has always been a native Sprint market.

I think the same issue that sprint had then is the current issue that some of us are experiencing with the newly opened ntelos signal. While researching possible reasons for my issues of getting signal but no data i found many articles discussing it and sounds very similar. Just my opinion tho and wouldn't mind hearing others thoughts on it. Ill also add that except for the iphone 5. Its the same devices that had issues then also.

ciosclone Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) I've got similar issues and it's driving me insane . I ported 4 lines from Verizon on the 30th. (Ashland/Ironton area) Since they have activated the lte , none of our new phones can utilize the data . S6 Edge plus , 2 LG 3's and one S6 . Customer support simply pulls the map up and says we shouldn't have it anyway . I've updated everything a million times to no avail . Surely there has to be something we can do to get this going . All of my neighbors are getting it with no issues . . Connects to nTelos on band 26 . 800 of course . All phones have 26 enabled . I've even set priority to 1 on band 26 on my Edge plus . Not sure why SS isn't showing , however, here's the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm8k6w5hlmi4zii/Screenshot_2015-12-01-08-22-38.png?dl=0 Edited December 1, 2015 by ciosclone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flompholph Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 As of Saturday I still needed to turn on LTE only and Roaming. I don't think I recieved the update either. When I do a profile update it restarts my phone like something important happend then nothing. To try lte only mode ##data#->edit->enter msl->More->HDR/1x Selection->lte only mode. You won't get phone calls but atleast you can try to see if lte is in your area. I guess some of us may have to wait for Shentel to finish buying nTelos.

JDP121 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I filled in a good portion on sensorly.com this morning on 33/29 and parts of UVa/UVa Medical Center & Downtown Ch'ville. Only dropped to 3G a few times then picked up LTE pretty quickly afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnycando Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'd be mapping but sensorly is playing dumb right now. I expect to head to Richmond this afternoon, we'll see it works better on the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidtm Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I can't get any LTE from the big tower on West Main St. (C'ville). It must not be up and running yet. Too bad, that's my main tower when at work. 800 LTE remains steady at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnycando Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 LTE 800 seems to penetrate building better, I'll take that when I can get nothing else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidtm Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yep, just tried some airplane mode toggles, profile and PRL updates, turned off work Wi-Fi - nothin'. Still get the no data until eHRPD switched back to EVDO scenario as always, too. LTE seems fine for me elsewhere. EDIT: Just noticed the original post went out via the Sprint 1X 800 tower in Troy, way east of town, even though I'm smack dab in the middle of town. More transition squirreliness, I guess.

lburgdavid Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 What kind of speed is everyone getting on the new SheNtelos LTE?Super psyched to see some sites poping up in lynchburg, but I am trying to find the perfect time to switch back while still getting all the sprint incentives.
